 * Syd Coventry ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) – created as a copyvio in 2006. Copyvio is of here. I have rewritten the article to remove any copyvio. Please action if RD1 revdel is required. Note editor who introduced the copyvio has also likely introduced copyvios at Wayne Richardson, Len Thompson, Peter McKenna and Barry Price of the same source material – I will try to get to these in the next 48 hours.

 * Wayne Richardson now also rewritten. Jenks24 (talk) 08:32, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Len Thompson also rewritten. Jenks24 (talk) 09:00, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Peter McKenna now rewritten. Jenks24 (talk) 09:51, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Barry Price now rewritten. Jenks24 (talk) 10:22, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Jenks24, you can use cv-revdel to request RD1 in the future, btw. Sennecaster  ( Chat ) 23:11, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks . I posted them here mainly because (probably a stupid question) I wasn't 100% sure if the copyvio has been in the article for a very long time -- in this case for 17 years -- do we still revdel that entire history? If so I'm happy to tag them all with cv-revdel. Jenks24 (talk) 07:51, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Jenks24: This falls into admin discretion range; I know some admins that would decline and some that would RD1. I personally wouldn't tag this since it has low chance of being reinserted, but it wouldn't hurt to try tagging 1 or 2 and seeing what happens. Either way, thank you for doing these rewrites. :) Sennecaster  ( Chat ) 04:47, 18 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Talk:Asterostomella ([ history] · [ last edit] · rewrite) from https://dothideomycetes.org/asterinales/asterinaceae/asterostomella/. Text in second paragraph of description is more or less copy-pasted from given source, which does not seem to be under a license that allows this. Revdel may be required?

 * Pictogram voting support.svg No copyright concern. Material is PD, license compatible, or ineligible for copyright protection. WP:LIMITED Sennecaster  ( Chat ) 23:28, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking. Could you tell me how you know those pages are PD? All I see is "Published by the Mushroom Research Foundation
 * Copyright © The copyright belongs to the Mushroom Research Foundation. All Rights Reserved." at the bottom of every page. Esculenta (talk) 23:39, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Esculenta; It's WP:LIMITED, and therefore ineligible for protection. Taxonomic descriptions can be tricky, but IMO it's listing by an objective quantifier (chronologically by discovery) and most similarity is from anatomy. Apologies for the late reply.

 * @Esculenta, for future reference, copyvio goes on the article itself, not on the talk page. You can also use copyvio/bottom to only hide a part of the article. 23:28, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
